A Journey Within

All religions tell you to enjoy aloneness, because how can you go into yourself until you enjoy aloneness? You must go there alone. This is why all the religions tell you to light the lamp of meditation. Only that lamp can accompany you, nothing else – neither wealth, nor position, nor prestige. Only the lamp of meditation can go there with you, just you and the lamp of meditation. Then you can descend into the deepest well. And this well is certainly very deep. Your depths are unfathomable. You are as deep as existence itself, so how can the well be any less deep? How can it be any smaller? When you peep into the well you will not be able to glimpse the water – it is too far down. The journey is long. The journey into oneself is the longest journey.
